Mr. Speak er. next Monday and Tuesday the world will observe two tragic anniversaries. They are the 25th anniversary of the illegal Soviet occupation of Lithuania on June 15. 1940. and the 24th anniversary of the first mass deportations from Lithuania and the other Baltic States on June 14. 1941. Since I will be out of the United States on official business on those dates. I wish to take this opportunity to express some thoughts on those days of infamy. Our hearts go out to the freedomloving people of the Baltic RepublicsLithuania. Latvia. and Estoniawhen we recall the terrible bondage into which they were delivered through the hostile acts of their neighboring nation. the Soviet Union: These people have been subjected to the iron rule of Soviet imperialism.
